Height of Shiv statue apparently incorrect

The article currently states that the airport has set a displaced threshold for runway 29L due to "the presence of a 263 m high Shiv statue", and cites two articles from the Times of India, which do indeed make the same claim. However, it appears that the height of the statue is far less; likely, the highest elevation above mean sea level is 263 m (compared to approximately 237 m for the airport). It seems that the statue is indeed the reason for the displaced threshold, but is nowhere near as high as claimed. Can anyone find a better reference to clarify this?
